This paper examines the ways in which connections to family, community and associated activities changed following a residential move. Evidence is taken from a single diary written by a woman who lived in north Lancashire in the twentieth century. Initially the diarist retained quite strong links back to her home community, but these gradually weakened over time. However, the activities that she undertook changed relatively little, they were simply transferred to new locations and contacts. The diarist came from a farming family and one constant in her life was a strong interest in agriculture and rural life. This continued long after she ceased to be directly involved with farming. In conclusion we use a selection of other diaries to consider more general issues relating to the use of diary material to study migration and mobility.

搬家和改变生活：移民和流动研究的日记证据

本文研究了搬迁后与家庭、社区和相关活动的联系发生变化的方式。证据取自 20 世纪住在北兰开夏郡的一位妇女写的一本日记。最初，日记作者与她的家乡社区保持着很强的联系，但随着时间的推移，这种联系逐渐减弱。然而，她所从事的活动变化相对较小，只是转移到新的地点和联系人。日记作者来自一个农民家庭，她一生不变的一个因素是对农业和农村生活的浓厚兴趣。在她不再直接参与农业之后，这种情况持续了很长时间。总之，我们使用一系列其他日记来考虑与使用日记材料研究迁移和流动有关的更一般问题。
